    Monk’s script:

    • “I didn’t write the article, I just posted it”, even though posting propaganda is the same thing as writing it
    • “I’m just posting articles that I found interesting”, even though they can’t ever explain what they find so interesting and will shut down if asked
    • “If you feel that the article is against the rules, let the mods know”, even though no one said Monk was breaking the rules by posting propaganda. They like to post the mod log link after someone brings it up, for seemingly no reason.
    • “I’m not voting for Kamala or Trump”, even though a vote for third parties is just going to empower a vote for Trump
    • “I’m not voting for [third party candidate], I’m voting for [third party candidate]”
    • Something about how they don’t have to explain anything about themselves even though they reply anyway
    • Something about a community they created to seem more genuine
    • Some form of sarcastic or fake “thank you” even though no one asked for their thanks, all likely to appear nice at a passing glance
    • Using “:)” in another failed attempt to seem nice
    • Calling you “friend” in yet another misguided attempt to appear nice at the surface
    • Demanding proof for otherwise reasonable claims (sealioning).

      A lot of their content are tortured contrivances to be able to respond with “no you,” because they are emotionally a petulant child.

      For example, regarding supporting a viable candidate instead of throwing a vote in the trash, they respond with, “every vote for your viable candidate harms the chances of [nonviable third party who isn’t even on the ballots].”
